(Fryer & Versteeg, 2008; Van de Vrande, De Jong, Vanhaverbeke, & De Rochemont,
2009). However, Lindt & Sprüngli AG, which is one of the top global chocolate manufac-
turers, adopted a ‘controlled open approach’ to exploit its potential benefits without radi-
cally modifying its business model and to maintain its key internal and private capabilities
(Lazzarotti & Manzini, 2013b). When Kraft Heinz developed melt-proof chocolate bars, it
pursued open innovation using well-constructed intermediary organization to accelerate
the innovation cycle (Wielens, 2013).
A critical issue, nowadays, is the need for innovation in restaurants, since they belong to
traditional sectors shaped by respect for the raw materials that express local identity, the
high human touch through the interaction between human resources and customers and
the sedimented knowledge of some chefs that combine local food with recipes passed
down through the generations (Ottenbacher & Harrington, 2009). However, we know
that there are differences between entrepreneurs who possess higher levels of indepen-
dence, tolerance of ambiguity, risk-taking propensity and innovativeness, and mere
small business owners who focus on marketing orientation and self-efficacy in the hospi-
tality industry including the restaurant sector (Wagener, Gorgievski, & Rijsdijk, 2010).
When we explore service businesses such as restaurants, the role of the customer in the
innovation process is not partial, but significant as a co-creator because there is a tension
between standardization, which makes providing the service more cost-effective for the
supplier; and customization, which matches the customer’s needs, but may require
different solutions for each customer (Chesbrough, 2010, p. 54). There are several
factors that affect the performance of entrepreneurial service firms such as successful res-
taurants (Lim, Ribeiro, & Lee, 2008). In the knowledge-based economy, knowledge advan-
tages of scale with ‘non-rivalrous knowledge’ can continue to accumulate endogenously,
promoting powerful economic growth, which drives open innovation in restaurant ser-
vices, as entrepreneurial orientation can also increase access to financial resources (Ches-
brough, 2010; Romer, 1986, 1990; Zampetakis, Vekini, & Moustakis, 2011).
We investigate the role of open innovation in the success of restaurants. Our research
questions are as follows:
Is open innovation the rational strategy for small restaurants to attract and maintain
customers?
Our research object is the individual restaurant industry. Therefore, the franchisees’
trust, the relationship between franchisor and franchisee, or the franchise partner selection
problem of the franchise restaurant industry, etc., are beyond the scope of this paper
(Altinay & Brookes, 2012; Altinay, Brookes, Madanoglu, & Aktas, 2014; Brookes &
Altinay, 2011).
However, if we explore the food industry from the perspective of sustainable food con-
sumption, consumers have become increasingly estranged from the production of their
food, and despite the recent recurrence of regional food and new trends like slow food
and organic products, consumer knowledge of seasonality and regional supply has with-
ered (Reisch, Eberle, & Lorek, 2013). Additionally, out-of home-consumption now
accounts for a significant and growing proportion of European food intake, simul-
taneously, food consumption is increasingly furnished with symbolic meanings and
hedonic experiences, and ‘social food’ has become ever more significant in combatting
the perils of an individualized society (Bes-Rastrollo et al., 2010; Reisch et al., 2013; Van-
devijvere, Lachat, Kolsteren, & Van Oyen, 2009).

Figure 1. Hypothesis.
The success of Italy’s food industry and many Italian restaurants can be traced back to
the transfer of diverse and dynamic open innovations in food and agriculture industries
from Greece to Italy, from the Roman empire to First World War (Parasecoli, 2014). In
the service industry, including restaurants, market-based co-operation and use of
market-based information is positively related to the novelty of the innovation intro-
duced by the firm, whereas co-operation with competitors (co-opetition) is not positively
related to the novelty of the innovation introduced by the firm (Mention, 2011). More-
over, in the service industry, the higher the firm’s level of innovation success is, the more
intensive its recourse to cooperation with universities, or customer–provider technologi-
cal self-efficacy (Janeiro, Proença, & da Conceição Gonçalves, 2013; Suh & Kim, 2012).
Furthermore, the restaurant industry normally does not use universities as innovation
sources. At present, many new business models are motivated by culture and arts,
which have deep relationships with restaurants or foods (Schiuma & Lerro, 2017).
Even though many studies point out several potentially valuable sources of knowledge
such as customers, suppliers, competitors, universities, etc., in the firm’s environment,
customers have been identified as a particularly promising source of knowledge,
especially when their demand is a precursor of broader market segments (Sofka &
Grimpe, 2010; Von Hippel, 2005). More commonly, firms, including restaurants, play
a central role in creating and organizing innovation communities which are well orga-
nized with or without online platforms (West & Lakhani, 2008). We can enhance the
customer experience through a services value web in which there is an iterative
process that includes customer engagement, value co-creation, acquiring tacit knowledge,
designing experience points and service offering (Chesbrough, 2011). The cultural
aspects of food such as the aroma make us focus more on the customer experience
(James, 2004).
In fact, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) engage in many open innovation prac-
tices primarily for market-related motives such as meeting the customer demands, or
keeping up with competitors, and have increasingly adopted such practices recently,

without any differences between the manufacturing and service industries with the arrival
of the fourth industrial revolution (Lee et al., 2018; Van de Vrande et al., 2009). In Chez
Panisse, which was chosen as the best restaurant in the US by Gourmet magazine in 2001,
as one of the top 50 restaurants in the world by Restaurant magazine from 2002 to 2008,
and awarded the Michelin star which the restaurant lost in 2010, the hallmark of fine
dining, throughout its history, Alice Waters, its founder and owner, and her team have
built a local, and now, a global ecosystem using an ‘open innovation’ strategy with stake-
holders such as suppliers, alumni chefs and staff, food writers and most customers (Ches-
brough, Kim, & Agogino, 2014). In particular, they introduced the open kitchen concept,
global top special menus and recipes, and invented menus for individual customers; for
example ‘the menu for Celilia for her ninetieth birthday’, in addition to building relation-
ships with suppliers and farmers, enhancing the relationships with customers through the
chef alumni system and the Chez Panisse Foundation, and collaboration with food edu-
cators (Chesbrough et al., 2014). In the 1970s, Alice Waters established the open inno-
vation ecosystem of Chez Panisse (Waters, 2009). All the points in the restaurant
experience, such as (1) make a reservation; (2) arrive at the restaurant; (3) ask for a
table; (4) go to the table; (5) receive the menu; (6) order drinks and food; (7) eat; (8)
order the bill; (9) pay; (10) visit the restroom and (11) leave, are parts of formulating a
service open innovation strategy (Chesbrough, 2010, p. 59). Service open innovation strat-
egies for the food and beverage service business can be derived from the interaction with
customers in terms of several values such as the appealing value (e.g. the restaurant image),
reflective value (e.g. character of the space) or social responsibility value (e.g. the social
message of visible materials) (Nam, Kim, & Carnie, 2018).
The objective of consumer-driven innovation is to create the right process or appli-
cation to fulfil consumer needs and expectations because consumers themselves are a
core part of innovation in the food and beverage industry (Kemp, 2013; Tüzünkan &
Albayrak, 2015). In other words, the co-creation of value with consumers as an innovation
strategy in the fast-paced or turbulent markets or industries, such as the food and beverage
industry, is essential because co-operating with the so-called lead users has been described
as an important source of innovation for firms (Martinez, 2013a; Von Hippel, 2005). Evi-
dently, co-creation of innovation, according to an open innovation perspective, requires
developing a common language, adopting different approaches with novice and expert
customers, and establishing different channels for communication because the restaurant
industry is characterized by high human touch; thus a deep level of human-to-human
interaction is required (Desouza et al., 2008). Similar to long-term co-innovation partner-
ships, open innovation in the restaurant business considers the key factors in all phases
such as initiation, partner selection, formation, implementation and evaluation (Tepic,
Omta, Fortuin, & Saris, 2013). Moreover, similar to the global open innovation structure
of Mars Inc., which can be diverse according to food, chocolate, drinks, petcare, gum and
sugar, or the Kraft Heinz open innovation framework, open innovation strategies in the
restaurant need to be diverse (Lazzarotti & Manzini, 2013a; Martinez, 2013c). Models
of adoption of open innovation within the food and beverage or restaurant industries
are diverse with many elements from suppliers of food ingredients, menus, and, recipes,
to dynamic and specific service industry (Bigliardi & Galati, 2013; Garcia Martinez
et al., 2014; Martinez, 2013b).

2.2. Research framework for the analysis of open innovation in the restaurant
business
According to the literature on food and beverage, open innovation in restaurants occurs in
food ingredients, menu recipes or restaurant services in diverse levels such as closed inno-
vation by the restaurants themselves, open innovation by mainly co-operating with the
customers or an open innovation platform, which is a type of an open innovation organ-
ization as shown in Figure 2.
Food ingredient open innovation could be measured from the customer satisfaction or
restaurant high ranking which is motivated by increasing the number of ingredients and
the freshness of ingredients in our interviews. Second, menu recipe open innovation could
be measured from the customer satisfaction or restaurant high ranking which is motivated
by increasing the number of new menus themselves and the fascinating menus according
to our interviews. Last, restaurant service open innovation could be measured from the
customer satisfaction or restaurant high ranking which is motivated by customized and
sophisticated service which were found during our interviews.
Although there are other important factors to consider such as the budgeting and
control system or the management system of the mostly individual and family-owned res-
taurants, we focus on open innovation in restaurants in this paper (Ahrens & Chapman,
2004; Ozdemir & Caliskan, 2014).
Therefore, we analyse open innovation of target restaurants using this framework of
food ingredients, menu recipes and restaurant services. By analysing the open innovation
in restaurants, we shall answer the hypothesis and research questions.

EUROPEAN PLANNING STUDIES 7
single or simple focus or concept being explored such as the research framework of open
innovation in restaurants shown in Figure 2 (Creswell & Poth, 2017, p. 48). A semi-struc-
tured questionnaire is a research method that mixes the interview and questionnaire
methods (Harris & Brown, 2010), thus achieving a higher validity than the unstructured
approach (Joffe, 1992). In addition, we used participant observation to explore the open
innovation realities of restaurants (Clark, Holland, Katz, & Peace, 2009; Nelson &
Wright, 1995).
We stayed at the restaurants for 1–2 h as customers to conduct participant observation
of these restaurants before the interviews. Sometimes during these participant obser-
vations, we asked the customers, chefs or service managers of the restaurant using our
semi-structured questionnaire.
We selected restaurants that are evaluated as very successful by customers and them-
selves at their respective regions. Then, we selected three different groups of restaurants
which have more than two times more customers compared to the neighbourhood’s
similar size restaurants. First, we selected four restaurants in Naples, Sorento and Capri
in Italy. Second, we selected one South Korean sushi restaurant, the Gampo sushi restau-
rant, among 12 sushi restaurants at Gampo sushi restaurants town in Gyeongju, South
Korea. Third, we selected one North Korean restaurant, the Pyongyang traditional cold
noodle restaurant in Phnom Penh, Cambodia among four North Korea restaurants in
the city.
high level of open innovation in service (OIS) through the intimate interaction with cus-
tomers as shown in Figure 3.
Second, we interviewed the chef, Fabio Cirillo at Hotel Elisabetta restaurant (B) at Via
Pozzano, 18, 80053 Castellammare di Stabia, Italy between 8 and 10 pm on 26th October
2018. He started his career as a cook when he was 24 years old, he was 38 at the time of
interview, working 15 years in the kitchen. He worked as an executive chief of Gordon
Ramsey restaurants at Forte village, then became the first chief at B. At the restaurant,
every day the menus and recipes are changed. He tries to ask what the customer ate the
day before when he receives order or before cooking. Then, he always inquires indirectly
about the customer’s taste of food of his customer. Through this process, he develops a
very creative and specific menu or recipe, which meets the taste of the customer.
During or after eating, he asks the customer about his/her satisfaction level with the
food, and develops a new concrete menu or recipe, or changes the old menu to a new
style. The open innovation level in recipe in B was also very high as shown in Figure 3,
with most of its food ingredients coming from the farm, which is located behind the
hotel with a distance of one acre. The chef of B takes the seasonal vegetables every day
from the hotel farm. However, if customers require other ingredients such as carruba,
which is not cultivated at the farm, he orders it from near farm, and tries to grow the ingre-
dient at the hotel farm. Additionally, he makes red and white wine by himself according to
the customers’ demands from the hotel farm grapes, as he preserves the bottles at the hotel
farm winery, and happily serves them when the customer order wine. He normally uses
turkey, beef or seafood ingredients from near Naples farms or producers’ union because
he can trust the quality of food ingredients. When the chef receives an order from a cus-
tomer in advance, he asks about the preference of the customer regarding the food ingre-
dients, and then chooses them to meet the customer requirements. Chef, Fabio Cirillo,
adopts a very high-level open innovation strategy in food ingredient by following the
taste of customers, succeeding in diversifying the food ingredients. Customers of the Eli-
zabes hotel are not only from Sorrento or Naples in Italy but also from many countries
such as Germany, France or Korea because of the fantastic view at which the tourist
can see all the seaside of Sorrento and the very diverse food and food ingredients. In
addition, this small restaurant can host diverse parties such as wedding parties, family
parties, local community parties or academic meeting, collaborating with flower

decoration companies, and actively restructuring tables. According to the direct or indirect
requirements of customers, the table structure, flower decoration, food menu at the restau-
rant are changed every morning. We could have enjoyed open innovation in the restaurant
service which was extremely dynamic and high as seen in Figure 3.
Third, we interviewed Raffaele Di Maio (D), the manager of hotel Miramare restaurant
(C) between 1 and 3 pm on 27th October 2018. C was trying to develop a new menu or
recipe which could offer implications to customers in addition to meeting their individual
requirements. By asking the customers directly about their satisfaction level with the
served food, and providing a feedback to the chefs, the restaurant succeeded in several
detail differentiations of the same menu item such as pasta, being a representative
example of an extremely high open innovation in recipe as illustrated in Figure 3.
Additionally, the restaurant uses all ingredients from Naples because the chef grew up
at Naples, knowing nearly all great food ingredients and understanding all the seasonal
ingredients from Naples. Moreover, the chef tried to mix diverse ingredients from
Naples to meet the new requirements of global customers, creating several inventions
and promoting new open innovation in food in the restaurant. For example, the mixing
of seafood and mustard resulted in a new innovative food with a positive feedback
from customers. C has a high level of open innovation in ingredients due to the chef
who was born in Naples as shown in Figure 3. Through enjoying diverse exhibitions
and painting galleries, in addition to meeting very strange and diverse requirements
and comments from Italian and global customers, the creative and fantastic decorations
of this restaurant were possible; for example, a siting and sleeping chair, real-tree style dec-
orations, a glass wall between the beach and the restaurant, or a beach chair made of wood
at the veranda. Dishes, cups, table covers and food dishes were all constructed according to
books, conferences and global customers’ taste. The manager reported ‘We do not provide
water, but the service which provides the water while stimulating the emotion of custo-
mers’. Therefore, this restaurant implemented a very high open innovation strategy in res-
taurant service through diverse channels, not just customers.
Fourth, we interviewed the managing director of Le Bistort Bordeaux (D) at the down-
town of the Naples between 6:30 and 8:30 pm on 27th October 2018. The restaurant
employees have always paid attention to customers, surrounding environment and the
changing trends of market. According to the manager, if we pay attention to the changing
taste of customers, and the changing situation of market, we can make new menus and
recipes successfully, for example Fili di neve, or Spaghetti with potatoes, garlic, oil and
pepper. Even the restaurant in downtown also pursued the normal open innovation in
recipe as demonstrated in Figure 3. In this restaurant, the main food ingredients used
were seasonal ingredients from Naples and near areas. The principle of food ingredients
of D was ‘The natural ingredients should be used at the nature’. For example, Raffaello,
which is a red and small radish, could be eaten deliciously just with salt and olive. This
downtown restaurant has tried to implement an open innovation strategy in food ingre-
dients despite the poor location as shown in Figure 3 by paying attention to the momen-
tary requirements of customers at the restaurant. In addition, they have always tried to
catch the related markets trends of dishes, tables, and covers to update and innovate
the restaurant service, and to communicate with customers and people located on the
value-chain to achieve a high level of open innovation in restaurant service.

As shown in Figure 3, even though there were differences among the restaurants, all
successful restaurants of Italy adopted joint open innovation strategies in ingredients,
recipes and service. The successful restaurants in Naples, Italy, showed representative
methods and examples of open innovation in food ingredients, menu recipes, and res-
taurant service, which are listed in Appendix 1 according to our participant
observation.
Figure 4. The open innovation platform structure of ingredients in Gampo sushi restaurant.
EUROPEAN PLANNING STUDIES 11
The open innovation platform of ingredients in the Gampo sushi restaurant gave
chances for the restaurant to sell ingredients like laver, Semiyuk, trunk of sea tangle,
salted and fermented fish, seafood and other products, in addition to the selling of
other side-dish ingredients such as sweet rice drink, braised sole, salted seafood, as
shown in Appendix 2. At present, the portions of selling these ingredients are rapidly
increasing. To summarize, the Gampo restaurant established an open innovation platform
of ingredients and developed steps to sell ingredients separate from sushi, which is the
main dish of this restaurant, as illustrated in Figure 5 and Appendix 2.
The first chef of this restaurant was the mother of its president, while another chef is the
president of the restaurant, HaeJin Park, with the last chef being Ahn who has worked at
Korean Sushi restaurants for a long time. All menus and recipes were developed by the
president and her mother. In addition, this restaurant developed new menus such as
Junbok-Juk or roasted rockfish. However, it does not have a feedback system from custo-
mer to chef through the serving manager; thus, the menus and recipes of the Gampo sushi
restaurant are almost a closed innovation (Figure 5).
The Gampo restaurant communicates in three phases when selling sushi to each cus-
tomer group by introducing the method of first-step platforms, second-step platforms and
third-step platform. By communicating with customers during the serving process, this
restaurant receives new ideas about ingredients such as the ingredients physical platforms
or changing of ingredients. Furthermore, during the serving process, they set up a sleeping
accommodation system to meet the requirements of customers who want to spend the
night at Gampo, then eat the next morning at the restaurant. Moreover, during the
serving, the restaurant sends the packaged ingredients to the customers’ houses through
an express distribution system so that customers can receive them when they are back
home. Following this process, the Gampo sushi restaurant implements an open innovation
strategy in service (Figure 5).
The Gampo restaurant has established an open innovation platform for food ingredi-
ents, promoting the selling of packaged ingredients, since some customers who used the
platform want to experience it at their homes by buying some ingredients.
Therefore, the closed innovation in this restaurant is covered by the open innovation in
service and its feedback to the open innovation platform of ingredients. In addition, the
closed innovation in the menus and recipes in this restaurant because of the veteran
chefs of seafood motivate the creation of additional menus for customers who do not
enjoy seafood sushi.

restaurant.

employees update the 18 modules according to the feedback from customers and the inner
opinions of 3 module groups. In addition, they perform the 11 new performances which
are new combinations of the original 18 modules based on the customer composition of
the day, or the customer feedback the day before.
The performance in this restaurant is executed in the evening for nearly a maximum of
1 h. Therefore, the dinner service in this restaurant looks like a type of performance
because all serving employees are simultaneously doing performance and serving, chan-
ging their clothes between three to four times.
The diverse performance contents are serviced to the restaurant customers first, then to
the performance-specialized customers at the performance-oriented rooms after the main
performance (Figure 7). Thus the open innovation platform of service is being sold inde-
pendently from the main customers in this restaurant whose situation is similar to the
Gampo restaurant.
Second, the menus or recipes of this restaurant are changed, at least, according to
seasons, with the maximum being every month according to the customers’ requirements
such as a new menu of North Korean food for South Korean customers or a new menu of
Chinese food for Chinese customers (Figure 7). Hence, this restaurant changes, adds and
deletes new menus dramatically according to the fluctuating requirements from custo-
mers. At present, the restaurant is adding new menus and recipes to meet the require-
ments from increasing Cambodian customers. In preparing alcoholic beverages, this
restaurant tries to meet the changing requirements of customers; for example it prepares
a wine type which was popular in South Korea when many South Korean customers came.
In addition, they prepare South Korean traditional alcoholic beverages, such as Makkolli,
raw rice wine, which has Seoul mark. Thus the Pyongyang traditional cold noodle restau-
rant implements a high open innovation strategy in menus and recipes.
Third, regarding the food ingredients, the restaurant adopts a closed innovation strat-
egy, by which it obtains food ingredients from Cambodian providers without other
requirements except receiving powdered red pepper directly from North Korea. Although

many food ingredients were imported from North Korea until 5–6 years ago, currently,
most of the food ingredients come from fixed Cambodian providers (Figure 7).
As shown in Figure 7, the Pyongyang traditional cold noodle restaurant in Phnom Penh
has established an open innovation platform for service that has additional independent
customers. Additionally, although the restaurant implements an open innovation in
menus and recipes, it adopts closed innovation in food ingredients now.
customers can make their own trials and creations themselves through the platform. This
combinative innovation and customer self-creation motivate the second-step customers
such as in the independent ingredient selling at the Gampo restaurant, or the performance
second-step customers at the Pyongyang restaurant. The open innovation platform of
recipes or menus produces additional revenue by independent products or services such
as opening a cooking school, publishing a food or restaurant journal, or selling menus
or other sources in successful big restaurants such as Chez Panisse; however, we did
not find out the evidence by ourselves (Chesbrough et al., 2014). ‘combinative innovation
and customer self-creation’ reinforce ingredient, recipe and service creation through the
reinforcing loop of (R-POI) as follows: open innovation → open innovation platform
→ combinative innovation and customer self-creation → ingredient, recipe and service
creation → customer value creation → open innovation.
Therefore, the open innovation platform will be the new cash cow of restaurants in
addition to providing the restaurants with competitive advantages compared to closed
innovation or open innovation oriented restaurants.
6.2. Implications
This study investigates the open innovation ecosystem of successful restaurants based on
the case studies of four successful restaurants in Naples, Italy, one South Korean sushi res-
taurant in Gyungju, South Korea, and one North Korean restaurant in Phnom Penh, Cam-
bodia, using a research framework consisting of three components, namely, food
ingredients, menus and recipes, and service.
According to these case studies, first, open innovation in restaurants is essential to the
sustainable development of any restaurant.
Second, closed innovation in any component of the open innovation ecosystem should
be covered by open innovation or open innovation platform with respect to other com-
ponents to attract more customers than the other restaurants in the same region.
Third, an open innovation platform of ingredients, menus and recipes, and service can
produce additional independent products or customer groups. Therefore, it should be
established, developed, and maintained.
Fourth, this paper contributes to the current literature, since it deepens the streams of
research on closed innovation and open innovation platform, which are understudied.
Additionally, the overlapping approaches to open innovation, open innovation platform
and closed innovation allow us to have a more comprehensive view on the concept of res-
taurant innovation.
Fifth, this paper also constitutes an important base for managerial implications. Evi-
dently, the application of this precise theoretical framework in the restaurant industry
can help restaurants create both economic value and customer value by implementing
an open innovation strategy within their ecosystems.
In addition, we need to study the differences between the open innovation ecosystems
of restaurants based on the cultural differences. The food industry, including restaurants,
is treated as a culture-sensitive industry (Han & Ryu, 2009; Ryu, Han, & Jang, 2010). Thus
the differences between open innovation ecosystems according to different cultures in
Europe, Asia, the Americas, Africa, etc., should be further studied.
Since the novelty of this paper is exploring the perspective of chefs and managers,
future research can further study other human resources at the organizational level.
Last, open innovation platform of menus or recipes in small restaurants could also be
an additional research topic. Futures studies can explore the possibility of additional inde-
pendent products or services from open innovation platforms in menus and services of
small restaurants.
